Replying to: emjay1 (Jul 30, 2009 10:15 am) You informed them that the Air Conditioning no longer worked? Somehow I doubt that they would give you the same appraisal with a non-functioning Air Conditioner. I went to Carmax, they gave me a ridiculous low-ball offer, and a voucher that said that the appraisal was not valid if the the condition of the car changed. I can't recommend them for buying or selling, but some people who hate to bargain seem to like it there.

Replying to: mitchflorida (Jul 30, 2009 2:14 pm) I also don't think that they would give you the same offer knowing that the A/C is not working... Ridiculous low-ball?? Is it because they didn't give you what you though it was worth?

Replying to: muttman (Jul 31, 2009 10:45 am) I ended up keeping my car. Carmax offered $3,100 for a car that they are re-selling on their own lot for $10,000!!! I kid you not! The wholesale book for the car is $5300. The buyer must work on commission, if he can steal a car from someone who wants to trade it in, he probably gets 25 percent of the action. Can't blame him, but I wasn't going to be one of his victims.

Replying to: mitchflorida (Jul 31, 2009 12:33 pm) Mitch,Is this the same Honda for which you had asked Volvomax for a trade in value on the RWTIV thread ? You had said the car was repainted and that it would be a whole lot more.Is this the same car?

Replying to: mitchflorida (Jul 31, 2009 12:33 pm) Carmax offered $3,100 for a car that they are re-selling on their own lot for $10,000!!! WOW! Looks like that car needed about $6,000 worth of reconditioning... dealer profit minimal.

Replying to: jipster (Jul 31, 2009 12:55 pm) Yes, the CarMax buyer told me that he would have to totally detail the car and put a couple of new tires on it as well. Does that really cost him $6,000 to wax and polish it? My sister works in the auto industry and she said the auction price of the car is $5300, and that I could sell it private party for $6,500+. However it looks and runs great, so I ended up keeping it for myself . . Replies to this message: jipster (Jul 31, 2009 5:56 pm) british_rover (Aug 01, 2009 6:16 am)

On the vehicle I traded last month, they gave me $14K and it's on their lot for $18998. The $14K was right on what Volvomax came in with as well over in RWTIV. I had it listed on Craigslist for a couple weeks at $16500 and did not get one nibble, so it will probably sit on their lot for awhile before they drop the price.
